22-year-old Trystan Terrell ^ has been identified as the gunman who killed two people and wounded four others at North Carolina University yesterday.
Terrell had previously been a history major at the school and was reportedly sitting in a class room when he used a pistol to open fire.
His mother died of breast cancer 8 years ago. Back in 2016, his father blogged that a nurse told the family to research autism in relation to Trystan when the boy was 3-years-old.
When the gunfire started, the university issued an alert advising students to 'run, hide, fight back, take shelter."
The chief of police said that officers responded very quickly to reports of an active shooter and 'definitely saved lives'.
